 This conference is very timely because it takes place at a time when the Chinese authorities are engaged in a process of deep reform of their intellectual property law, including amendments to the criminal court. And so we hope that the timing of this conference will allow us to further our cooperation with them on legal matters. The purpose of my presentation was actually to show how the international legal framework relating to illicit trade could be used as effective legal tools by the law enforcement of the community. There is a perception, unfortunately, that important international instruments such as the UN Convention against corruption or against organized crime are not really the business of the police. But this is the wrong perception. It is true that the police does not officially transmit requests for legal assistance to other jurisdictions, but still they have a very key role in order to prepare these requests and give them content to them. So it's very important that the police becomes increasingly familiar and knowledgeable with the functioning of the international legal framework, because ultimately this would result in an international, transnational case being handled and managed more effectively. The legal assistance pillar of the program has been mandated to provide assistance to governments in order to help them implement the legal framework relating to illicit trade. This is done through a number of activities, including by assisting states in legislative drafting to ensure that the legislation is fully consistent with the international legal framework, and also by organizing training and capacity-building events, not only for police officers, but also for prosecutors, for judges, for all those that are involved in the criminal justice process, so that I can better handle the international mechanisms at the international level based on these conventions.
